When I read about pip, I keep going back to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11299310 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11299310 I think even if we had regulations and requirements like that in the US, it would quickly devolve into a charade. Basically, a six month pip would be the same as a six month notice with the option to fire you any time anyway.

Dumb law IMO. I like at-will employment. I would be pissed if my company was paying 14k on my behalf for something so unnecessary. I can budget my education much better than the government, thanks.

  Why would you be pissed? No employee is going to be 'pissed' about something designed to benefit them and ease a layoff.

  How can you budget your retraining if you get same-day notice and just 2 weeks severance?

Having six months to prepare for being fire sounds better then "bye tomorrow".
